Off topic: Dutton reminds me of the insignia of my last unit: the 13th Signal Battalion, 1st Cavalry Division:




Sarge
the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

So, not better. ;)

The link is still there, it's a nice photo, but maybe not appropriate for the forum. In fact, Arte Nova has several artsy-nude photos as covers. Tastily done.

Like this one (no boobies) or this one (yes boobies).

Another Dutton fan here - it's not the style I'd like on my wall, but more than any other label they have an expertly-executed and well-grounded distinctive visual style.

I also like CPO's basic look - no more complex than Naxos, but looking much less cheap and nasty than the latter's standard template.
Peanut butter, flour and sugar do not make cookies. They make FIRE.

Thanks for the vote of support!  ;D

^ I would like to modify the preceding post and substitute smaller images, but I'm unable to activate the "modify" or "delete" links.

No objections if a moderator wants to delete this pair of posts.

Indeed; but for whatever reason, the "Modify" button on the problem post wasn't responding earlier. Luckily, I've now managed to go back and clean up the mess. Cheers!

Can anyone identify this painting? I don't own the disc and not sure how to find out.
Lovely piece though, or at least what is shown.

The new Anemos label features hardcover booklets with a dust cover that has art stickers,... endless fun!

One of the perfect marriages of form and content:

Dancing Divertimentian

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

I like that cover. It suits the music perfectly. :)

Started discussing this series in the "Purchased Today" thread, thought I would continue it here...

Thank you, Jens, for the link...

Just spent a very pleasant few minutes going through this thread right from the beginning. At the end, I was surprised that the Jacobs Mozart opera recordings haven't had any supporters yet:




OK, I know it's a cheat. Anyone, you'd think, could take a detail from a Watteau and slap it on a box top. But even so, there's something extremely alluring about these boxes when I take them from the shelf: the boxes look a lot more special as boxes than these little images look, as little images, and seem to rule out any notion that the contents could be anything other than objects of great veneration. I guess Watteau is one of those 'unanswerable' painters: he presents you with the image and leaves you gaping in silence and there's an end on't.

I'm bumping only because I'm still in search of this painting. Any clues?

...and I'll throw in a thread duty while I'm at it.
ALways been fond of this photo for Handel's Ariodante
